Hello Everyone
My Dad(55yrs.) was diagnosed with stage4 renal cell cancer a year ago. Started Nexavar the first month and so far it hasn't spread or gotten any worse. My issue is that there is a 4cm tumor on his left kidney, in dozens of lymph nodes, largest one being left lower neck that was 1.5cm, and other spots that they are not sure of. Since the start he has only had 1 Onocoligist and had one urologist look at his scans and both are saying he's inoperable. He has lost a lot of weight and has had hand and foot side effects from the nexavar but has gone to work everyday and has only missed a few hours here and there due to doctors appt. My fear is that the Nexavar will eventually stop working and it will only get worse. I was under the impression that even if taking the kidney wouldn't cure him it was still a smart decision to just get rid of it. Please help!
Thanks
His Daughter
